McNabb not worried about failures against Cowboys last season

IRVING – The Cowboys went 3-0 against Donovan McNabb’s Eagles last season.

Now he’s the quarterback of the Redskins, and the furthest thing from his mind is what went wrong against the Cowboys last season.

“That’s the past, and it’s over,” McNabb said in a conference call with the Dallas media. “You move on. I think that’s the mindset that you have, not just in football, in life. What can you do to change it at this given moment? (The present) is the only thing I’m focused on.”

McNabb also dismissed the fact that he’s 3-7 against the Cowboys in his last 10 starts. Dallas beat Philadelphia 34-14 in the first-round of the playoffs last season.

“It’s a new year,” he said. “You start all over again. I think that’s probably the plus for all of us. Not just for me but for them as well. I’m sure they’re not excited about the way their season ended last year (34-3 loss in Minnesota in divisional playoffs). Obviously, I wasn’t excited about the way my season ended last year. Everyone is coming into this game 0-0 and looking forward to getting their season started on the right note.”

McNabb acknowledged that he’s still not completely comfortable playing for the Redskins.

“I would love to say yes, but you’re talking about 11 years (with Philadelphia) and about four months (with Washington),” he said. “But I am comfortable in this offense, confident in the things we’ve been able to do so far and what we can do. The comfort level continues to grow. I think that will be something that all the players and the coaches feel the same way. We’re all learning together. As we unfold into this season, you’ll begin to see more and more things happen for us.”
